Basketball

NBA Eastern Conference Final G4, the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 130-121 at home, leading 3-1, just one victory away from the Finals.

In this game, the Pacers' backcourt core Tyres Halliburton played his career masterpiece, scoring 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals, and making 0 mistakes, becoming the first player in NBA history to score 30+10+15+0 mistakes in a single game in the playoffs.

From the first section, Halliburton turned on "Magic Mode". Faced with the Knicks' strict defense, he made 6 of 10 shots in a single quarter, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, scored 15 points and sent 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and activated the entire team's offense with his own strength. Data shows that of the Pacers' 8-point advantage that led 38-30 in the first quarter, 6 points were directly from Halliburton's score or assists.

Halliburton's performance continued in the first half. Not only did he have three-pointers on the outside, he also frequently used breakthroughs to tear open the Knicks' defense line, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in the first half of the playoffs since Kidd.

And the most amazing thing is that with such a high ball style, he maintained a perfect state of zero mistakes. In the final quarter, the Knicks narrowed the gap to 5 points at one point, and Halliburton stood up again at the critical moment. He first used a cold-blooded three-pointer to stabilize the morale of the army, and then assisted his teammates in succession to score, completely destroying the opponent's hope of counterattack. In the whole game, he made 11 of 23 shots, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, with a plus-negative value of up to +16, and his score hit a record high in his personal playoffs, and his 15 assists tied the career playoff record.

In addition to Halliburton's dominant performance, the Pacers' five players scored in double digits, Siakam contributed 30 points and 5 rebounds, Mathering scored 20 points on the bench, and Turner also had a stable output in the inside.

In contrast, although Brunson scored 31 points and 5 assists and Towns scored 24 points and 12 rebounds, the team's overall defense collapsed and was ultimately unable to make up for the situation.

Now, holding the match point 3-1, this is the closest Pacers to the finals since 2014. Halliburton's strong performance undoubtedly injected a shot of a heart-warming agent into the team. The 23-year-old "Point Guard Magician" is writing his own legend with gorgeous passes and accurate shots.

The next game will be back to New York. If the Pacers win again, they will return to the finals stage after 11 years. And for the Knicks, falling behind 1-3 means they have to replicate the reversal miracle of the previous round, otherwise the season will end there.
